Working Breakfast
Yesterday morning, I had an breakfast with people from a famous company which used to be one of the most important vendor of high performance computers before twenty years. They have been pushed externally to provide support on Eclipse, but have completely no idea how they should do it. They also have some concern about the feasibility of this approach, regarding the effort that are demanded to port or re-implement their existing tools to Eclipse.
I fully understand what their concerns are. I agree that it will demand a lot of work to reach the same level of functionality of the existing tools. And it is hard to evaluate the exact amount of work before you do some initial experiment. Most important, all of us agree that their company should have a long term plan on Eclipse support.
They shown great interest in my previous work around Eclipse and high performance computing. And even though I’ve told them that I have accepted another job, they still show great interest in me and tries to allure me to join them. Besides, they are also planning to establish a new development department in Europe and need a lead. I like this feeling - it makes you feel that you are important :-).
The reason I blog this issue is to point out that even such companies are now facing strong pressure (from their customers) to support Eclipse. Although those developers does not like it, now they have to do it.

This also shows how in demand Eclipse experts are. I’ve talked with another company that is having a hard time trying figure out how to build an Eclipse team to do some custom work for them. They just can’t find the people, especially with skills in the embedded/technical space as well. And there aren’t any services companies focused in that area either as far as I can tell.
